I did not realize there was Runners Companion Errata available. Could someone link me?

There's till no errata released, even if i have been bitching about it at every opportunity after i learned that the latest English printing includes the same errata as the german version (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

[ShadowWalker]

Is there a way to export the results of the build to an external file, xml or txt, format doesn't matter much as long as it's just easily readable results?
Preferably something other than a macro since I've yet to get a standard ms office macro to work in open office.

[ShadowWalker]

I just noticed none of the character sheets available to print include the Technomancers matrix attributes.

[ShadowWalker]

The hacking sheet doesn't include the ability to build your own comlink as per the build and repair rules for the hardware skill on pg 137, 227 and 228 of the sr4a book.

Oh also how do you properly buy a nexi? Don't see any way to enter the persona limit or process limit so the cost comes out ### and buggers all the other values for nuyen.
How do you buy multiple comlinks? IE the uber one in hidden mode and some basic thing in active mode.

[Draco18s]

You can buy pre-made comlinks and nexi in the Gear tab.

Other than that, no.

[ShadowWalker]

You can buy pre-made comlinks and nexi in the Gear tab.

There is a section in the gear to buy nexi response, firewall and system separately, as well as buy one of the prebuilt ones,
but the pricing doesn't work for the none prebuilt ones as I can't find a way to state what the persona and process limits are.

Oh the hacking sheet it has a custom selection for the OS that allows you to built your own, but it doesn't have the same for
the hardware.

[Pax]

Hey, would you consider adding the optional rule for Technomancers that allow them to purchase echoes by paying karma outside of the Immersion process? This is the same optional rule that the adepts have over on the magic tab.

It's referenced in Unwired, page 145.



Thanks,


Pax

In the vehicle section, the Ford LEBD-1 has none of the standard upgrades it's supposed to have.

[PresentPresence]

I really love this sheet, DK, so thank you very much. I run into small problems from time to time, but they mostly involve gear listings, and they may just be my own fault for not knowing where to look, and it's unfair to expect you to be able to keep track of ALL the gear from EVERY book. But I will be editing this post for small problems I may find with the gear for when you update to your next version. Here's hoping you eventually run out of letters!
- "Scent-masking Cigarettes" are in the "Weapon - Accessories" subgroup, should be in the "Disguised Equipment" subgroup.
- "Electromagnetic Shielding" vehicle modification costs 32,000 x rating, should cost 2,000 x rating.
That's all for now. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smokin.gif)

Just wanted to say "thank you" for such a wonderfully developed and succesfully implemented project.

So: Thank you!

You guys (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cyber.gif) Cyberoxxorzs (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cyber.gif) !

Without Errata it is difficult for me to change my RAW settings. Do you know which version of the Runners Companion I need to find in order to verify this change?

Until I can see the rule in print, I am just going to leave a seperate preset for 'German RAW', which includes the revised [and IMHO much better] rules for race costs in karma build.

I see alot of posts regarding technomancer and hacking requests. I am going to focus on getting all technomancer and hacking changes fixed into the next version, so keep the suggestions coming!

[SpellBinder]

Getting the few tasks added to technomancers' submersion would be nice (I can keep adding this myself, but I doubt I'm the only one who'd like to see this standard with the sheet), and though it would take a greater overhaul of the Technomancer sheet adding the program options to complex forms would be great (Unwired, page 136).

[ShadowWalker]

I was thinking what would be cool is to have the comlinks/nexi/upgrades/custom hardware and OS be purchased on the gear page.
Then have a dropdown on the hacking page to select the specifics to link them together. Purchase software for each comlink, or mark
as free if created by the character.
Then on the character sheet, have a drop down to select the comlink configuration you want included. This would allow for multiple
comlink to be shown/printed out.
This would end up requiring a considerable amount of work though, so I'm just tossing out the idea for people to mull over. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Thanks, for all the work that's been done on this.

This is a lot better than the previous character generator I was using, but there are some things that don't seem right. For one, Hardliner Gloves should deal physical damage, not stun. I am making a Class III Changeling Troll Common Drake Adept. Even though the default element attack is fire, it is listed as acid. I was able to find the Mystic Armor and Drake Skin armors, but Drake skin seems ambiguous - is the the Mystic Armor 4 or Hardened Armor 4 that is granted by Drake? Also, does the Mystic Armor granted by Drake stack with the Mystic Armor adept power? I think that there are some issues with calculating Unarmed Combat damage, because I have a strength of 5 (11 in dracoform), +2 from bone spikes, +1 from martial arts, and critical strike 6. The reach and AP are both correct, but the damage is listed as 10S and 13P in dracoform, when it should be 12S (or 13P with Hardliner Gloves on, which are listed separately on the sheet as doing 5S) and 17P in dracoform. There also seems to be a bit of difficulty calculating my move speed. I also have the Celerity quality, so my move speed should be 15/25 * 1.5 (round down) as a troll, and 15/25 * 3 in dracoform. Unfortunately, the only speed it gives me is 22.5 for the troll walking speed. The rest are simply replaced with "##.##".
Did I somehow put my information in wrong, or is the problem somewhere in the generator?

Aside from those problems, though, I would say that this works excellent.

[Draco18s]

I can answer some of those questions:

> is that the Mystic Armor 4 or Hardened Armor 4 that is granted by Drake?

The drake skin is probably the hardened 4, the mystic armor would be the mystic armor. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

> Also, does the Mystic Armor granted by Drake stack with the Mystic Armor adept power?

No, because the former is the critter power which gives the drake 4 armor against astral entities. This is a failing of the RC book authors.

[SpellBinder]

I can help some:

> Even though the default element attack is fire, it is listed as acid.

Other elements are available to a dracoform's breath weapon per the optional rules, but the default is fire, yes. The issue with the character sheet is that particular cell is set to Acid and is locked while the sheet is protected. If you know how to, you can unprotect the sheet, format the cell so it is not locked when protected, then protect the sheet and you're done.

I may have missed it being mentioned, but the negative qualities for Phobias went missing between version I and M. Was rebuilding a character on the latest sheet and noted that every version of the phobia is gone. Did I miss it being recatagorized?

[Dakka Dakka]

I can answer some of those questions:

> is that the Mystic Armor 4 or Hardened Armor 4 that is granted by Drake?

The drake skin is probably the hardened 4, the mystic armor would be the mystic armor. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

The problem is that the both the Critter Power and the Adept Power are called Mystic Armor. The Critter Power confers armor on the astral plane and only there. It is hardened if the critter also has the Hardened Armor Power (SR4A p. 296)
The Adept Power confers non-hardened armor that works on both planes. (SR4A p. 197)

> Also, does the Mystic Armor granted by Drake stack with the Mystic Armor adept power?

No, because the former is the critter power which gives the drake 4 armor against astral entities. This is a failing of the RC book authors.

I have no idea how you come to this conclusion.
If the drake in question is an adept and has the Adept Power Mystic Armor, that protection should stack with Hardened Armor 4 on the physical plane and with Mystic Armor 4 on the astral. Only worn armor does not (usually) stack. Of course only 4 points of either combination is hardened.

I've been using this sheet now for a while and all I can say is thank you for making my life easier and kudos on a well done product. There are a few things I thought might make it better though.

1. I didn't see it on the forums anywhere but it would be nice to see a list of changes you are currently working on.

2. Gear

a. While making a mage character the other day I couldn't find "Mage Sight Goggles" under any of the item categories on the gear tab.

b. There isn't enough room on any of the character sheets to fit all of a characters gear

c. Items enhancements show up in the same column on the character sheets. I believe if they were indented it would allow for easier viewing.

d. There is no easy way to sort or rearrange you gear on the "Gear" tab. This is okay for character creation, but trying to keep track of your characters gear down the road becomes difficult.

Once again thanks for a great Shadowrunning tool and I look forward to every enhancement made to this great tool.

[Draco18s]

I have no idea how you come to this conclusion.

My mistake, what I meant was that the Mystic Armor AP plus the Mystic Armor CP don't "stack" to give you awesome bullet ignoring skin, as the questioner I believe was trying to imply (because I made that same mistake).

[Thirty Second Ar...]

Drones: The C-D Dalmatian's name is misspelled (Sheet says "C-D Dalmation"). Additionally, neither SR4 nor SR4A make any mention of it coming with a weapon mount, so I'm wondering where the "LMG Mount" note came from.

Tried opening with win7(Most current office) and open office but it's horribly glitched. Tried second download with different unzip program and same problem. Graphics missing unable to manipulate most of the document. Should I be opening it with something else?

Are macros enabled? Based on your problems, I think that may be what's wrong.

[Prime Mover]

Yea I thought that too, made sure macros enabled no difference. Still lots of missing cells on pages and unable to select from drops downs, drop downs freezing and can't input on any of pages.

Get Office 2003? Office 2007 is awful IMO.
